Cedar Falls Board of Education Meeting, May 11, 2026

The Cedar Falls Community School District Board of Education held a meeting on May 11, 2026, where they approved the consent agenda including a waste disposal bid. Financial reports for April were reviewed, highlighting expenditures and cash investments across various funds such as the general fund, management fund, physical plant and equipment levy, student activity, and food service. The board discussed ongoing capital projects including the natatorium and the Tiger Performance Center. A motion was passed granting the superintendent authority to issue employment contracts for licensed teachers and coaches for the 2026-2027 school year between May 12 and June 5, 2026, to expedite hiring due to the lack of a second May meeting. Additionally, the board accepted a tentative one-year collective bargaining agreement with the Cedar Falls Education Association, which includes salary increases and changes to coaching and department chair stipends. The agreement was noted to be fiscally responsible but will reduce district reserves. No other procurement or contract awards were detailed in the meeting.
